Advancing Philanthropy July 2020

Celebrating The Past, Exploring The Future

This issue of Advancing Philanthropy celebrates AFP’s 60th anniversary! Yes, we’re celebrating 60 years of fundraising, but this issue is all about exploring BEYOND fundraising to inspire you to learn or try something new. So, you’ll find articles on what it takes to be a leader, new books to read for professional and personal development, and the positive impact emotional intelligence has in the workplace. But as the world continues to grapple with a global pandemic, you’ll also find articles on building community, moving beyond a crisis, and making unexpected pivots. The cover story highlights AFP’s past, present and future, discussing what lies ahead for AFP in many areas, such as social justice and programming development.

Sometimes inspiration can come in the simplest form, like reading a book, listening to a podcast or maybe even self-care. Find what works for you, and do it often!
